Site icon THE FIGS OF BORNEO

Ficus villosa, Selapon, Temburong, Brunei

Note that  the  area around the ostiole is peaked like a volcano and the fig fruit is very hairy.  F. villosa figs also occur with a sunken ostiole and no hairs. From my  limited current experience  all F. villosa fig fruit with a peaked ostiole are male  and all F. villosa fig fruits with a sunken ostiole are female. However this  hypothesis needs to be confirmed  by additional data.
